Ingredients
  

Muffin Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup oil I use coconut oil
  • 2 cups Truvia or sugar
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 8 oz. can crushed pineapple lightly drained
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cup whole wheat flour if you do not have whole wheat flour, just use more all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. nutmeg
  • ½ tsp. ginger
  • ½ tsp. cardamon

Streusel Topping Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 Tbsp. Truvia
  • 3 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 5 Tbsp. butter melted, cooled slightly

Instructions
 

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease 2 standard muffin pans or line with cupcake liners.
  • Mix eggs, oil, Truvia, zucchini, pineapple, walnuts and vanilla together in large bowl.
  • In medium bowl, whisk together flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. Add to large bowl of wet ingredients.
  • Mix, just until combined.
  • In small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the streusel topping. Add the melted butter. Use a fork to mix and create the crumbles.
  • Scoop ¼ cup of batter for each muffin. You should have enough batter for 24 muffins. Evenly sprinkle the streusel over each muffin.
  • Bake for 20-24 minutes. Check for doneness at 20 minutes using a toothpick. If it comes out clean, muffins are done.
  • Let cool 5 minutes in muffin tins. Then remove to continue cooling on wire racks.
  • Muffins will keep 2-3 days at room temperature or 3-6 days in the refrigerator.

Notes

*If you like a lot of streusel topping, double the streusel ingredients.
*This recipe can be made as two loaves. Grease two loaf pans. Divide batter evenly between both pans. Evenly spread streusel topping on both loaves. Bake 50-60 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in pan. Move to wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
